Thursday Night Football: Cincinnati vs. N.C. State

It’s a clash of Big East and ACC Titans. The Wolfpack of North Carolina State faces the mighty Bearcats of Cincinnati. The winner will become the most deceptive 3-1 team in college football.

North Carolina State: Whether it’s attitude or talent, The Wolfpack rank 77th in the country in total defense. They have played two FCS teams, Liberty and South Alabama, as well as Wake Forest. They lost to Wake Forest. Really worrisome? They surrendered eight sacks combined in the two FCS games.

Cincinnati: The Bearcats went medieval on FCS Austin Peay and FBS stalwart Akron (Total Offense -114, Total Defense – 102). Against Tennessee they gave up 45 points and 405 yards through the air. Expect them to go down with the Big East ship, because asking Conference USA to take them back will be AWKWARD.

Reason for Pessimism: Cincinnati leads the nation in turnover margin (+12) and North Carolina State (+5) is in the top ten. That likely will even out. If neutrals are lucky, it may even be tonight.

Make fun all you want, but it’s better than the other game on TV tonight.

Reason for Optimism: Neither is Boston College.

Big game against UMASS coming up.

Anyone think that Cincinnati could end up in the ACC? BFFredo

I have no clue what Cincinatti’s academic reputation is, but I’ll guess no on the ACC. Because athletic conference affiliation is tied to academics. Which is fucking dumb and stupid. I work in research and never had athletic conference affiliation ever been an issue in submitting grants.

It’s Always Sunny is on in a hour. I’ll tune in to the second half after that is over. I do love me college football option on Thursday. It is almost the weekend and I only have to get through 11:30 at work tomorrow. Basically, The Weekend Has Started.

I’m apparently eight years behind tv shows. I understand. Sunny makes me laugh and that works for me on a Thursday night.

Just re-watched Rush: Beyond The Lighted Stage. Reaffirms by belief that Rush is the smartest, most talented rock band of all time. A fantastic documentary
